The 2018 Skunk Is Gone.

Lipripper · April 23, 2018, 05:29:27 PM

I did a full report in the Illinois Fishing Report Section Bass Fishing Whalon Lake 2018 but here is the one that killed the skunk.

It's no monster but it sure felt great to hook my first fish of 2018.

Nope I'm not on the IBASS board cause I caught it on a Night Crawler. When they wouldn't bite anything else I brought along my 4' UL Ugly Stick and some Night Crawlers and they didn't even want them to bad.
Thanks everyone and the skunk is gone.

Oh I know you can't enter it in iBass. I just meant you were on the no more skunk board.

The Lipripper is back in business! Good job buddy! Happy you got yourself a bass! Doesn't matter if it was on a nightcrawler, at least you got the skunk out.
